Palestinian officials and local sources reported multiple attacks by illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers and soldiers on water infrastructure, farmland, and villages across the occupied West Bank, Tuesday.
Colonizers, accompanied by Israeli soldiers, attacked the main water transmission line in the al‑Ras al‑Ahmar area southeast of Tubas, in northeastern West Bank, destroying sections of the primary pipeline that supplies crops and families in the community.
The attack cut water service to about 30 Palestinian families, most of them livestock herders, and left nearly 8,000 dunams of irrigated farmland without water.
Mo’taz Bisharat, Palestinian official who oversees the Jordan Valley file in Tubas Governorate, said the attack followed months of bulldozing by Israeli authorities to build a military road from the Ein Shibli military roadblock toward the Tayasir roadblock.
Bisharat added that the planned 22-kilometer route crosses the Atouf and al-Ras al-Ahmar Plain.
In al‑Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah, in the central West Bank, dozens of armed colonizers, escorted by Israeli soldiers, attacked Palestinian farmers while they were plowing their land.
Deputy village council head Marzouq Abu Na’im said colonizers fired tear gas at residents, causing suffocation injuries to six Palestinians, including three children, two women, and one man.
He said al‑Mughayyir and surrounding villages have faced continuous colonizer assaults alongside repeated invasions by Israeli forces.
In Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, local farmers said Israeli colonizers, accompanied by soldiers, continued bulldozing Palestinian-owned land in the al-Khalla and Wadi Ammar areas, damaging agricultural plots across the plain. The farmers said bulldozers had been operating there for several days.
Before dawn, colonizer groups invaded the villages of ‘Awarta, Osarin, and Surra south of Nablus, in northern West Bank.
Local and security sources said colonizers roamed near religious shrines and residential areas, intimidating residents while Israeli soldiers secured the surroundings.
The Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission said Israeli forces and colonizers carried out 2,256 attacks against Palestinians and their property during July 2026. Israeli forces committed 1,458 assaults, while colonizers carried out 798.
The Commission said the escalation reflects a coordinated pattern of colonizer violence backed by military protection, targeting Palestinian communities, farmland, and infrastructure across the West Bank.
